With Karcher k-2. Before Karcher K-2, I used two-bucket method. In winter don't feel like washing myself, so use waterless wash spray and wipe with microfiber towel and after rain get it washed from nearby service station.

I also booked a GLI FL in march 2017 and got it in Aug 17. Driven it 15 k kms and sold it to buy 1.6. I saw a friend's 1.6 and thought that 1.6 is giving good value for money. Bought 1.6 at 2274k invoice.
And now the prices are too high(The Gli at start was 1.95 million and altis was 2.15 million), Bought it at good times.

Few days ago... Got my right headlight replaced finally under warranty...
The issue was one of it's kind... It used to project a dark spot on road, used to go away on its own and arised again ....

My front camera has gone bad, have asked dealership and they say it will arrive in a week. Same happened with my turbo. Looks like the front cameras are pretty bad. They just go blur after some time and seems like they have absorbed some water.

I noticed front cam issue recently in my car as well ... will get it checked

So after sending IMC email last night about the discrepancy in price of Oil Filter, I got a reply from dealership through IMC that prices of oil filter and air filter were actually reduced in January 2019. So currently, Oil Filter for Grande is also available at Walton Motors for Rs. 1523 (same price as Islamabad Motors). I am actually surprised to hear this as due to Pak Rupee devaluation, prices were expected to go up.

I bought 1.6 in April 2015 invoice 19.72
Grande Oct 2016 invoice 23.79
Grande Facelift Dec 2017 invoice 25.49

(Voting survey) Quality difference between Factory Genuine and Aftermarket Genuine Parts.

Is there any quality difference between factory genuine parts (that comes with car from factory) and the aftermarket genuine parts (that we buy later on from market/dealership)? Are they exact same in quality?

*Assume that aftermarket genuine part is actually a 100% genuine part and not a knock off.

What does your experience say?

• Factory genuine and aftermarket genuine have exact same quality.
• Aftermarket genuine part is slightly inferior quality than factory genuine
• Aftermarket genuine part is moderately inferior quality than factory genuine
• Aftermarket genuine part is significantly inferior quality than factory genuine

Good question. I believe there a significant difference. Experienced it with my cuore. Factory fitted rear shocks gave me 94000 kms, and the replaced geniune ones from toyota motors lasted only 21000 kms. Same way factory fitted left axle boot lasted 99000 kms and the replaced one only 19000 kms.
Now this brings me to another question. In that 2 yrs warranty period claim, do they replace with the factory fitted one or the replacement geniune one?

Posting this to help others.

Altis Grande ETD in April 2019, invoiced on 6th February 2019.
Booking was completed on 25th October 2018 at Toyota Islamabad (Aapbara).

So car should be delivered in 2nd half of February!

[autophile]

Takes a week or five days sometimes after it has been invoiced to reach Islamabad. Invoiced means loaded on truck.

[sh3hryar]

Noted. Thanks.

PS. I am not in Pakistan to take the delivery. Should I use Pakwheels service to get the car checked before accepting the car?
